Re: Roughest city in the UK?It's the largest individual city, whereas London is technically a region - the City of London is actually the smallest city and the outlying areas are London Boroughs.(Original post by Wilfred Little)
It's the and largest in population and size, mate. -

Re: Roughest city in the UK?Birmingham isn't that bad, sure it isn't the most picturesque city in the country, I doubt many would choose to visit it and I don't really like it that much, but it's not as bad as some of you are making out! The city centre and some parts like the Jewellery Quarter and Edgbaston are alright. Chelmsley Wood, Alum Rock, Sparkhill are pretty rough though.

Depends what you mean by rough.. I live on a road known for prostitutes and have caught them erm, 'servicing' their clients on our doorstep. -

Re: Roughest city in the UK?Parts of Oxford are quite rough. It was until recently a major factory town and has its areas of deprivation (Blackbird Leys).(Original post by SoulfulBoy)
Oxford. Specially the area around the university.
